More progress on the El Camino
.
I got all the engine parts back from the machine shop Thursday, so the weekend was spent building the 500 (technically a 507 now with the .030 overbore). It's pretty much a stock rebuild, 8.5 compression bit hotter cam and better valve springs that should let it wind a bit tighter.
As I mentioned I'm using a new machine shop so I checked everything when it went together, and everything was right on spec.
I also stopped by the body shop on Friday, progress is also being made there, so maybe in a few weeks that will be home.
I guess this week will be spent getting the TH400 ready to put behind the engine.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
